Class II but Not Second Class—Prospects for the Development of Class II PI3K Inhibitors

ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters

Abstract

The Class II PI3 kinases are emerging from the shadows of their Class I cousins. The data emerging from PIK3C2 genetic modification studies and from siRNA knockdown suggest important roles in physiology and pathology. With some well-studied Class I isoform inhibitors showing strong Class II activity and a wealth of crystallographic information available, the structural similarity of these isoforms to Class I provides both the opportunity and the challenge in design of selective pharmacological inhibitors.
